Skylab VI is the sixth studio album by the Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab, the sixth in his series of ten eponymous, numbered albums. Self-released in 2006, it is so far Skylab's longest album, totaling 19 tracks, and was responsible for spawning one of his most famous compositions, "Dedo, Língua, Cu e Boceta".
During one of the album's recording sessions, while heading to the studio, Skylab tripped, fell down and broke his jaw; a photograph of him in bandages, taken hours after the surgery he had to undergo, was used as the cover art.[1]
A live version of the track "Cu e Boca" previously appeared on Skylab II. "Hino Nacional do Skylab" is sung to the tune of the Brazilian National Anthem. "Eu Não Tenho Eu" opens with a long excerpt of an interview museologist and carnavalesco Clóvis Bornay gave to Skylab in 2005, shortly before his death.[2] "Para de Roncar, Filha da Puta!!!" was dedicated to Skylab's wife, who according to him snores during sleep;[3] she provided the brief spoken word monologue which opens the album's first track, "Alucinação".
A music video was made for the track "Amo Muito Tudo Isso".[4]
The album can be downloaded for free on Skylab's official website.[5]
Writing for website Pílula Pop, Bráulio Lorentz gave Skylab VI a mixed review, rating it with a 6 out of 10. He stated that the album can be "quite repetitive lyrically with its constant references to the word 'ass'", but praised the tracks "Amo Muito Tudo Isso", "Eu e Você" and "Eu Não Tenho Eu" as "surprising".[6]
